tected by  the  copyright  entries  noted  above.

INTRODUCTION 

THE  more  or  less  obvious  characteristics  of  this  Primer  are 
these : 

The  Subject-matter.  This  is  within  the  range  of  the  expe- 
rience and  the  imagination  of  most  children  of  five  or  six  years 
of  age.  It  enlists  at  once  their  liveliest  interests.  It  is  full 
of  action.  It  furnishes  constant  occasion  for  dramatization 
and  encourages  varied  and  natural  expression. 

The  Vocabulary.  The  number  of  different  words  used  — 
less  than  one  hundred  entirely  different  ones  —  is  intentionally 
small.  But  every  one  of  these  words  is  used  over  and  over 
again,  used  naturally  in  the  expression  of  new  thoughts,  not 
repeated  mechanically  just  for  the  sake  of  repetition.  The 
pupil  thus  gains  complete  mastery  of  this  limited  vocabulary, 
a  mastery  which  not  only  enables  him  to  read  fluently  and 
expressively  thoughts  clothed  in  the  words  of  this  vocabulary, 
but  which  prepares  him  readily  and  rapidly  to  increase  his 
vocabulary  as  soon  as  he  begins  to  observe  the  facts  and  prin- 
ciples of  phonics. 

The  Use  of  Rhymes.  The  rhymes  on  pages  3,  5,  10,  15,  18, 
24,  33,  40,  47,  56,  67,  73,  78,  91,  104,  111,  124,  are  designed  to 
be  thoroughly  memorized  by  the  pupil.  These  rhymes  furnish 
nearly  all  the  words  used  in  the  book.  Experience  proves  that 
pupils  acquire  an  initial  stock  of  sight  words  much  more  quickly 
and  easily  through  the  memorizing  of  rhymes  than  through 
the  more  usual  object,  word,  or  sentence  methods.  But  the 


chief  value  of  the  rhyme  consists  in  the  opportunity  which 
it  gives  the  child  to  help  himself  from  the  very  first,  to  form 
the  habit  of  independence.  (See  the  Teacher  s  Manual,  "  Learn- 
ing to  Read,"  page  4.) 

The  Illustrations.  The  pictures  are  not  merely  artistic  and 
harmonious,  they  are  an  integral  part  of  the  book ;  they 
express  thought,  and  are  to  be  read  no  less  than  the  words. 

This  book  may  be  used  successfully  with  any  method  of 
teaching  reading.  But  the  best  results  will  be  secured  if  it  is 
used  in  accordance  with  the  principles  and  suggestions  given 
and  fully  explained  in  the  Teacher  s  Manual  which  accompanies 
the  Aldine  Series  of  Readers.
